20,000 Macedonians protest in front of Parliament

Over 20,000 Macedonians spontaneously gathered this evening in front of Parliament, sending strong messages to the treasonous Government junta led by Zaev.

Protesters demanded the quisling junta not go against the will of the people, because that would escalate the situation in the country, and urged an immediate annulment of the agreement between Zaev and Tsipras, the same way they did it – over the phone. Protesters pledged to gather in front of Parliament until the abolition of the agreement and the withdrawal of the referendum decision!

The demonstrators gave strong support to President Gjorge Ivanov and told him that they would always be there along with him, in good and bad.

They asked for a public hanging of Zoran Zaev, the illegitimate prime minister and traitor. Hangings were requested for Zaev’s associates as well.

The protesters emphasized that the protest had people from all political parties and all ethnicities, asking no one to associate them with any political option.

As scholars and authors we wish to take issue with the distortion of the Prespa ‘agreement’ in some quarters, and portrayal of opponents as nationalist and extremists.
The agreement does not serve the needs of Macedonia or Greece. It shows no respect for international law, human rights and democratic principles.
An agreement trying to define political, historical and cultural boundaries between “classical Macedonia” and (would be) North Macedonia is a bizarre undertaking in the 21st century. The construction of identities is not for governments. Macedonia is subjected to arbitrary international engineering against the will of the people. With little public support a highly polarized atmosphere deepens internal divisions. The asymmetric ‘deal’ will not lessen regional tensions as only the weaker (Macedonian) side was forced to compromise, to force (North) Macedonia into NATO – itself in an identity crisis.
The deal denies constitutional sovereignty of Macedonia, with fin…

The Vlach community in Macedonia marked Sunday the Vlach’s National Day (May 23) at a ceremony held in a Skopje hotel.
Macedonia is the only country where the Vlach community is incorporated into the Constitution. May 23 is a non-working day for members of the community according to the country's law on holidays.
"Macedonia is an example not only in the Balkans, but also across Europe, of how diversity should be advanced. We believe it is perhaps the strongest argument as to why Macedonia should be part of the European starry sky. The Vlach community has a special place in the Republic of Macedonia, because you and your ancestors have played important roles - historical, cultural and political - in the establishment of our joint country," Deputy PM and Defense Minister Radmila Sekerinska told the event.
She led a government delegation, including Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski and Deputy Economy Minister Kire Naumov, to the ceremony marking the Vlach’s National Day.

The draft-proposal for solving the name dispute with its seven points will be brought to Skopje this week by the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Kotsias as he will land at the international airport Skopje, reports the Greek newspaper “Kathimerini.”
According to this outlet, the name, the range of its use, the identity, the trademarks, the short abbreviations and the acronyms are part of the seven points that the draft-agreement contains. The outlet also states that the proposal for a solution is finished, it contains answers to certain issues that refer to both countries’ relations, including Macedonia’s perspectives as part of international organizations.

The draft-agreement has been finished before being forwarded by the Greek Foreign Ministry to the national government. After the document is sent to Macedonia, most probably, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias will plan a trip to Skopje.
Speaking to the Greek state radio station on Saturday, the Minister said that Greece's proposal had been drafted. Kotzias said that most likely he would visit Skopje in March, not in February as it has been widely reported. He noted that he would like to do a small, but symbolic gesture upon his arrival in Skopje.
"We were thinking it might be a good thing if we were to do a somewhat small, symbolic event in order to emphasize that fact that things are changing. Instead of seeing an escalation of nationalistic 'attacks' with symbols against Greece, we are witnessing removal of irredentist symbols that have swarmed Skopje," Kotzias said.
On the content of the draft-agreement, he reiterated that it contained 'the name and de…

The City of Skopje has paid the subsidies for purchasing a pellet furnace in 2016.
A total of 196 citizens met the criteria envisaged in the subsidy programme according to principle “first-come, first-served”.
The public call for subsidies was released on October 12 and closed on November 4, including 343 applications.
“All applications were reviewed, with 196 accepted as meeting the requirements, whereas others either did not fulfill the criteria or were filed after the programme funds were exhausted”, said the City of Skopje.
The call was issued in order to stimulate citizens in using renewable energy sources as heating in their homes. The funds amounted to 70 percent of the pellet furnace price, but not exceeding MKD 30,000 (EUR 500). The total budget of the subsidy programme amounted to MKD 5,9 million (EUR 95,000).

Christopher Purdef, an orthodox deacon from the US state of Ohio, posted on Twitter a map of former Yugoslavia in the mid-1970s, which says Macedonia about the then southernmost republic.

“As I was saying, Greece didn’t have a problem with Macedonia in the 70’s”, he wrote.
A little later Purdeff gave a new argument about the Greek attitude towards the identity of its northern neighbor from four decades ago – an excerpt from a book in which the languages of the then SFRY, including the Macedonian, were listed in Greek.
